He just was so very pulp-ish with the trenchcoat and fedora. He fit into the world much better. I am also beginning to see your exasperation with him, Rob, but I imagine that, if he were written better, he could bring a lot to the stories. Man, that Aparo art just won't quit, will it?

It reminds me of the stories where Superman and Batman marvel at and or dismiss supernatural elements, despite the fact that they rub elbows with Dr. Fate, the Spectre and Zatanna on a regular basis.<BR/><BR/>I was always a huge fan of Mr. Aparo, but I had forgotten what raw energy his early stuff had.
